(magic shop.)

DAWN: A robot? Really? Was it Ted? 'Cause I always said there could have been more than one of him.

WILLOW: Nope, whole new robot. This one was a girl.

XANDER: Buffy's busy tracking down the guy that made her, so I'll drop you off at school, and if she's not finished, then-

(they've reached the door and are about to step in when Spike, wrapped in a blanket, comes barrelling through)

SPIKE: Coming through! Coming through.

(his blanket is on fire, so once inside he throws it on the ground and starts stomping on it)

SPIKE: Fire! Fire!

(The others stare at him.)

SPIKE: Hello, all. What's going on then?

GILES: Spike, you're not welcome here.

WILLOW: Yeah, and by the way, we're working on a way to de-invite you from here. Even if it is a public place.

XANDER: Nah, forget it. Letting him in is good, 'cause then we get to toss him out.

ANYA: Ooh, can we throw him out the window like the robot did? 'Cause that was neat.

SPIKE: Robot? That's what she was? (scoffs) Knew something wasn't right. Hey. Someone's glad to see me, aren't you, little bit?

DAWN: Stay away from me.

TARA: I think you better go.

SPIKE: Okay, now, I was afraid of this. Misrepresentations, misunderstandings, slurs and allegations. I don't know what Buffy told you, but the thing is, the Slayer and I worked together, side by side, to get rid of Dru. Who was up to no good. And I don't mind telling you-

GILES: Spike ... listen to me.

SPIKE: It's just ... I'm trying to explain. She might have said some things that sounded like I expressed some kind of feeling-

(Giles shoves Spike backward.)

GILES: (softly) We are not your friends. We are not your way to Buffy. There is no way to Buffy. Clear out of here. And Spike, this thing ... get over it.

SPIKE: I don't know what you mean.

GILES: Yes, you do. Move the hell on.

(Spike takes a deep breath as if he's going to say something. Giles gives him a steely glare. Spike puts the blanket over his head and exits. )
